The reason being is if I do commands like getfacl /cygdrive/e using a cygwin distribution from 1 year ago I get different results than I do getfacl /cygdrive/e on a current distribution. Also, chown and chmod and mkdir seem to have different effects today than they did a year ago on the ACL settings. This leads me to conclude the interpretation of ACL's as used by cygwin is different than what I would get in a vanilla Windows tutorial. A Windows tutorial would not list things like how cygwin commands are going to interpret or map those settings. Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Hall" To: "Bill C.
